Scalps Reviews

It's a rare feat for an utter crap film that I'd normally rate a 1/10, to climb up to 5/10 by the time I factor in how FUNNY it is, albeit unintentionally.

This clearly deserves a 'so bad it's funny' tag. This is pure campiness at its peak. A bunch of college kids go on an archaeological dig, and evil indian spirits start killing them and making them crazy. Story sucks, everything about it sucks, but the terrible acting, the terrible effects, the extreme continuity errors, they all add up to make this a great comedy. I guess all those wrongs end up making a right. LOL

When one of the 'goofs' on IMDB says this:

* Revealing mistakes: Before one man's decapitation, his head comes off before it's supposed to.

... you know you're in for a treat.

Last I've seen this mess was probably 15 years ago, and I don't think anyone can find it in their video stores so you can only buy this mess, but if you love campy films, by all means, do check it out. some of the things I still remember to this day is how the 'indian undead spirits' wore jeans and sneakers; actors that got their heads cut off simply did so by doing the old 'stick your head into your shirt and raise your arms and pretend your head is missing' trick; night/day inconsistencies, even between conversations between two people (one is talking while its dark, and his friend replies and he's in day time); the students park their car and walk nearly a full day until they get to their campsite in the bush, and when one guy says 'I forget it in the car', he goes and comes back with an item 2 minutes later; even better, a few scenes later, the car is seen parked next their tent... oh, it goes on and on. best example on how NOT to make a movie. best enjoyed when drunk.
